Album : Definitive Burt Bacharach Songbook

"Do You Know the Way to San Jose" is a popular song written for Dionne Warwick by Burt Bacharach (music) and Hal David (lyrics).
Burt Bacharach wrote the music for the song before Hal David wrote its lyrics which give narrative voice to a native of the northern California city of San Jose who, having failed to break into the entertainment field in Los Angeles, is set to return to her hometown. David had an especial interest in San Jose having been stationed there while in the navy.
